I recieved the bluetooth unit for a gift and just have one quick question on install. I have the basic pioneer xm module now, do i just unplug the xm and plug the bluetooth in that spot then plug the xm into the bluetooth as a daisy chain? the install guide isn't very clear when it comes to hooking up multiple accessories. thanks - erik

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

Don't forget to hook up the power harness too. yellow to constant and black to ground.

power harness and mic were gimmees. is there a reason that I can't just piggyback onto the backside of the xm module? keeps me from having to pull the deck, or does the bluetooth need to be first in line? thanks

doesn't matter. They mmay seemlike gimmies, but there's a reason I mentioned them anyway.

That's what I meant, but I just didn't get into much detail, as you can see. With all the external components using the ip-bus interface, you just daisy-chain them together. The order which they are hooked up doesn't matter in pretty much every scenario.

So you just piggy back the power for this off the main power used for the deck as well?

I just grounded the black lead to the ground wire that I had for the other components - not the wiring harness, but a diff lead that grounded to chasis. I then used the constant power lead from the stock harness to supply power to the yellow lead. All works good, now I just have to figure out how to transfer the numbers (one at a time per other posts) from my phone to the btb200. any suggestions or help?? have the btb200, at&t and the motorola v3xx. thanks - erik

Well that does make sense on how you wired it up. I am thinking of hiding the unit itself behind the dash of my 05 gti. Where did you mount yours?

I have an 04 F150 that has tons of room in the dash. There is a spot under the dash tray that is just above the radio, and I mounted my xm module there when I installed the stereo a while ago and there was enough room that I just used the velcro and put the bluetooth unit on top of the xm one. Secured all the extra wire and cable since I only had to run about 10 inches and everyone still thinks that it looks like a stock deck.

Well I guess I will go that route then. Where did you mount the mic?

clipped the mic to visor and ran the cord under the trim, through the dash and to the back of the unit. Whole install took about 20 minutes.

Does it pick up pretty well off the visor? How does it work if your window is down?

don't know where you are at, but here it has only been about 20 degrees out - so not much window down driving yet. the people that I hve talked to on it have said that I sound pretty good. the way that the truck is set up, the mic is fairly close to me so that may help some. my wife can even here our 3 year old in the back seat without her having to speak up any. erik

I am in hawaii so the windows are always down. LOL. Anyways thanks for all the info on the unit. Sorry to hijack your thread.

no problem and glad that i could be of some help, that's what we are all here for. enjoy the sun - ours will be back in a few months. erik
